We become the publisher (admin only, you keep your rights): we register every song, fix the splits and claim what is owed, back to the oldest period still open. No upfront fee — a commission on what comes back.
The song (what you wrote) and the recording (what you recorded) are paid separately, by different organisations. Streams are only one source — radio, TV, live and public places matter as much or more for songwriters.

Two lines from the map above: the songwriting slice of your streams, and an estimate of neighbouring rights for the recordings you play on. The recording money your distributor pays for streams is not here — it is already in your distributor statements.
iHow this is calculated
Calculated automatically from 1,889,885 listens on ListenBrainz, an open listening panel that is much stronger in the UK and US than in most other countries — so elsewhere it is often an underestimate.
Plays are scaled to all services, then multiplied by a per-play rate and by your share of the songwriting.

Live shows
What your concerts should pay you
Estimated · a typical show of yours in United Kingdom£67 – £1,048for you per show, once the setlist is reported to PRS for Music
iHow this is estimated
Assumed 300–2,000 paid tickets per show (from how much your music is listened to) at a typical local price (e.g. €15–40), × each society's published concert tariff, × the share of the set that is your own songs, × your share of the writing (37%).
Put your real ticket numbers on the shows page for a precise figure. Countries without a published tariff (e.g. the US) aren't counted.
